That's because in 44/45 the Army redesignated all the engineer regiments.
For instance, my dad's unit, the 540th Engineer Combat Regiment, consisting of the 1st and 2nd Battalions, were restructured and were then called the 540th Engineer Combat Group.
1st Bn became the 2832nd
2nd Bn (my dad's) became the 2833rd.
